Don’t worry, we get it, it’s difficult figuring out what to do next. Have you considered marketing apprenticeships?
If you’re unsure about how to start your marketing career or develop & train within your existing role there may be dozens of possible solutions. However, a marketing apprenticeship may be ideal for you, no matter where you are in your career. You can find out more about our specific courses by clicking the button below.
So, what are your options?
Options |
Possible issues |
|---|---|
| University | It’s expensive, takes three years, and by the end of the course, you may not feel as you did when you started. |
| Self-study / retrain | Where do you start, what courses or books do you buy, and how do you know what is good or not? |
| Get a random job | Sure, you’ll earn a little bit of cash, but will it actually lead anywhere? |
| Entry-level marketing role | Marketing is very popular, and with little to no experience or qualifications, it’s really a rat race to get your first marketing role. |
| Do an apprenticeship | There really aren’t any issues. You get a job in marketing, qualifications, and experience, and get paid at the same time. |
